Sunway University Press was honoured to be invited by Prof. Dr. Firdaus Binti Mukhtar to attend the Inaugural Lecture Series, The Power of Thoughts and Action: Advancing Healthcare Through the Science of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, held at the Main Lecture Hall, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).
The lecture, held from 9.00 am to 11.30 am, brought together UPM leaders, academics, researchers, and invited guests for an engaging morning of knowledge-sharing and discussion. The session highlighted the important role of cognitive behavioural therapy in advancing healthcare practice and promoting a deeper understanding of the relationship between thoughts, behaviour, and well-being.
Prof. Alvin Lai Oon Ng, DPsych, from Sunway University, together with Sunway University Press, was privileged to be part of this special occasion. The event also provided an opportunity to connect with fellow academics and colleagues across the higher education community.
At the exhibition area, Sunway University Press had the opportunity to showcase Prof. Alvin Ng’s latest book, Happiness: Mastering the 5Gs for an Enhanced You. The book introduces five practical “G” practices, grounded in mindfulness, scientific research, and real-life experiences, offering readers simple approaches to cultivating greater joy, fulfilment, and well-being in everyday life.
It was also a meaningful opportunity to reconnect with fellow academics, including former students of Prof. Alvin from his teaching days at UKM, and to celebrate the achievements of Prof. Dr. Firdaus Binti Mukhtar on the occasion of her inaugural lecture.
Sunway University Press extends our warm congratulations to Prof. Dr. Firdaus Binti Mukhtar and our appreciation to UPM for an inspiring and memorable morning of knowledge, connection, and academic exchange.
